Announcements

Android AIR Runtime Play Store Availability

Adobe will be unpublishing the shared AIR Runtime from the Google Play Store for all devices running Android 4.0 or below on March 13th, 2018. AIR applications that require the shared runtime will not be able to be able to access the required download from the Play Store from these older systems. We recommend impacted developers convert and republish their applications to use the captive runtime before March 13th.

App Transport Security

With macOS 10.11, Apple has introduced App Transport Security (ATS) which mandates that applications use secure network connections over HTTPS only. Because this is a significant change, Apple has provided applications an override via NSAllowsArbitraryLoads which will allow insecure connections.

With AIR SDK 27, all AIR applications built for macOS will automatically have the NSAllowsArbitraryLoads key set as true in their info.plist file. This is a temporary solution. Apple may reject your application during the review process or disable the usage of NSAllowsArbitraryLoads in future OS updates. We recommend using secure network connections over HTTPS in your applications.

Android AIR Shared Runtime

Starting with AIR 26, packaging of shared runtime applications for Android has been disabled. With this change, published applications will always have a captive copy of the runtime included in their installation package irrespective of the target the developer has selected (that is, apkor apk-captive-runtime). This change allows us to focus our testing and engineering on captive installations, by far the most popular option for Android.

AIR tvOS Support Moved to Labs

To help focus our testing on the most popular platforms, we've decided to move tvOS support back to the AIR beta channel. The functionality remains the same and developers can download the latest SDK over at https://labs.adobe.com

Known Issues

AIR

ETC2 with Alpha content having LZMA/JPEG-XR compressions have black dots/lines when rendered on Android

ETC2 Non Alpha ATF are not rendered in ADL

StageWebView is not able to load punycoded URLs

Flash Player

Video created using authplay produces jagged-edge-shapes if stage-color is ignored

Open the project Properties panel (right-click and chose 'Properties').

Select ActionScriptCompiler from the list on the left.

Add "-swf-version=41" to the 'Additional compiler arguments' field.

This ensures the outputted SWF targets SWF version 41. If you compile on the command-line and not in Flash Builder, you need to add the same compiler argument.

Ensure you have installed the new Flash Player 30 build in your browser.

Authoring for AIR 30Update to the AIR 30 namespace

You must update your application descriptor file to the 30 namespace in order to access the new AIR 30 APIs and behavior. If your application does not require the new AIR 30 APIs and behavior, you are not required to update the namespace. However, we recommend all users start using the AIR 30 namespace even if you are not yet taking advantage of the new 30 capabilities. To update the namespace, change the xmlns attribute in your application descriptor to: <application xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/air/application/30.0">

Reporting a Bug

Found a bug? Please submit a bug to the Flash Player and Adobe AIR bug database.

Flash Player and AIR may leverage your graphics hardware to decode and play H.264 video. There may be video issues that can only be reproduced with your particular graphics hardware and driver. When reporting an issue involving video, it is essential to note your graphics hardware and driver, along with your operating system and browser (when using Flash Player), so that we can reproduce and investigate issues. Please be sure to include this information as described in Instructions for Reporting Video Playback Issues. Note: Due to the high volume of email we receive, we are unable to respond to every request.

Thank you for using Adobe® Flash Player® and AIR® and for taking the time to send us your feedback!
